MUSIC In MINNEAPOLIS.
This coming week promises to be a
very pleasant one among the musical
people. The advent of the Boston
Ideals Is looked forward to with great
pleasure by the cultured classes, and,
were one to judge by the attendance at
late season of opera, the Ideals will
themselves be highly gratified by their
weeks stay In Minneapolis. Among
local performers, Carl Westrum will
give an elaborate concert Tuesday even
ing at Dyers' music hall, assisted by the
following we'll known people: Miss
Maud KOber, pianiSte; Miss T. Lillian
Frefethere, viOlinist, and Mrs. Mira
BealS, elocutionist. Carl Westrum will
play some of his original compositions,
and the concert promises to be highly
enjoyable affair.".
On Wednesday evening, Nov. 80, the
state association of music teachers will
meet at Dyer music hall at 1880 O'Clock.
A fine programme by leading artists

meeting-and a general discussion of
ideas relative to music and teaching will
doubtless be very interesting and profit
able to the members of the profession.

teachers, whether personally invited or
not, are expected to attend.

NJ. L. QUINN ON MUSICAL PBRCEPTS.
Mr.. Quinn, in his remarks to the
Grand opera chorus last evening, called
attention to radical error in SO-called
musical instruction. A percept is an
intellectual element or an atom. The
first thing one should learn in music, or
any other art or science, is its perceptS;
what Plato calls 1.-The thing ltSelf, not
signs and characters called symbols. A
child should, in music, first of all learn
to distinguish the functions or degrees
of tonality, or world of tone. When
they ''hear these with the eye," as Rob
ert Schumann says, then they should
''learn to see them with the ear"
When one knows these elements in
pitch then they should get the subjective
part of musical education, i. e., to
localize the will in various parts of
the generating organs of the voice; or
the hand in pianoforte technical works.
After one thoroughly learns these ele-
ments, then let these prime factors gem
crate all ones artistic conceptions, and
they cannot fail in accomplishing some
thing real and artistic. Any teacher
whose system is correct should produce
an artist at least every year after teach
ing in a community several years. by
their works We shall know them"
